论文摘要
本文将讨论液体氙相互作用的微物理模拟，这是许多领先的罕见事业搜索新物理学的活动探测器介质，并描述了可观察到的实验性可观察物，可用于理解检测器性能。信号和背景的闪烁和电离产量分布将使用Noble元素仿真技术（NEST）表示，该技术是基于实验数据和简单的经验公式的工具包，该工具模仿了先前的微物理学建模，但以数据为指导。将审查光和电荷产生的巢模型，该模型将审查粒子类型，能量和电场的函数，以及能量分辨率和最终脉冲区域的模型。将NEST与其他模型或一组模型进行比较，并根据真实数据进行审核，并从Xenon，Zeplin，Lux，LZ，Pandax和用于校准的台式实验中取出了几个特定示例。
This paper will discuss the microphysical simulation of interactions in liquid xenon, the active detector medium in many leading rare-event searches for new physics, and describe experimental observables useful for understanding detector performance. The scintillation and ionization yield distributions for signal and background will be presented using the Noble Element Simulation Technique (NEST), which is a toolkit based on experimental data and simple, empirical formulae, which mimic previous microphysics modeling, but are guided by data. The NEST models for light and charge production as a function of the particle type, energy, and electric field will be reviewed, as well as models for energy resolution and final pulse areas. NEST will be compared to other models or sets of models, and vetted against real data, with several specific examples pulled from XENON, ZEPLIN, LUX, LZ, PandaX, and table-top experiments used for calibrations.
